Author:-PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE P33)...
Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.

“Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”,

In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”

“Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”

He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”

“Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”

“NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

..EC could have sent representatives, this new EC chair Madam Osei has already started failing. If this woman can be a good leader or chair then she has missed one of the opportunities to prove it. She could not even appoint or direct a single one of the many commissioners to represent her at the lecture. It's a disgrace on her part.

I think that the Electoral Commission is far ahead of the Nigeria EC. Ghana's EC has been doing this since 1992. The problem is that those who want to rule Ghana "at all cost" have elected to barstardise the EC when lost but when they win the EC is the best. The Professor can go and educate other countries but definitely, not Ghana. We are far ahead of them.

Please tell this "ass-licker" called Apaak that just because we are waiting for a report from the EC's forum does not preclude any body from organising a forum on the voters register and electoral processes in Ghana. In what ways that the IEA's forum interfere with the EC's report, which may not come any sooner...Apaak should tell us that.

Is there a conspiracy by bourgeoisefied illegitimate Northern elites to steal from Ghana as a revenge to the presumption that the Southerners have ruled Ghana for too long?

Here is my case:

Why is that for ALL ministries, if the substantive minister is not a northerner his/her deputy is?

Why is that Northerners will always emerge to explain away all corrupt activities of the government?

Just asking!!!

Clement Apaak Its time you came down from your high horse to respect the eminent Ghanaians who attended the lecture. We are all in Ghana, seeing what dubious and corrupt application of sound governmental principle the NDC had lent itself to. Stop insulting our intelligence and do the right thing so Ghanaians can develop some confidence in the electoral process

IEA should have had the CURTESY of comparing notes with EC to know their time table and programme . As it turned out, IEA de-feathered a bird and asked EC to name the bird without its feathers. It was simply in bad taste.

Why can't politicians give us the peace for just one day ? When are they going to be satisfied with what politics have rewarded them. They should all not forget that one day Jesus Christ is coming to judge the world. And the looted resources meant for the poor and vulnerable shall be taken away from them. Their pastors who have also turned their pulpits into motivational platforms to enrich themselves shall not be spared.

If IEA is an appendage of the npp , then people are right to say its the npp who have the men and women to get the work done so what is the sense in it for some people to defend this create, loot and share brigade? Charlotte Osei and the EC are also an appendage of the ndc and they will pay dearly for it if they massage anything in favour of john mahama and his incompetent ndc. Let the EC collect any money meant for Ghana to sell the true verdict to the ndc and we all live to see how they will enjoy it. WE WANT FREE, FAIR AND TRANSPARENT ELECTIONS not Charlotte Osei meeting ndc gurus in the night to plan how to steal the elections. GOD is watching at anyone who has bad intentions about Ghana.

Prof Jega had nothing new to offer the EC. In fact he sees nothing wrong with our Electoral system which is the standard for what he supervised in Nigeria. It's npp and its offshoots such as IEA who see everything the EC does wrong and this posture will not end even if Nana Addo is made the EC chair,... until they annex power. In other words, unless NPP win power they won't stop demonizing the EC even if the best ever practises are put in place: it's as simple as that!

Ghana has nobody to beat! In fact, Nigeria isn't even our co-equals when it comes to electoral systems. It's NPP who's painting the EC black, and some of you ignoranimus follow like blind sheep.

Isn't it becoming clear that the EC's refusal to meet Prof. Jega was instigated by the Presidency. By your comments you are telling Ghanaians that you control the EC. Can't the EC say what you are saying if really that is what they want to say? The IEA is an independent think tank and they don't wait for instructions from government or its agencies before rolling out their programmes. If that is what you expect the EC to do so be it but not the IEA.

The Report you refer to should have been out ages ago. You are playing Delay Tactics, all the time; you put in an Inexperienced and an Immature E.C. there so that you can manipulate her.

If you think IEA should not have invited the Nigerian E.C. why are your Parliamentarians planning to invite Goodluck Jonatan and Buhari?
